Construction Technology and Innovation
Harness emerging technologies and innovative best practices to improve construction project performance and deliver better business outcomes.
Overview
Technology and innovation are transforming the construction industry by enabling organizations to improve productivity, increase profitability, reduce risk, and deliver projects more efficiently. As digital tools and modern project management practices continue to evolve, construction professionals must develop the skills needed to lead projects with confidence in an increasingly technology-driven environment.
According to McKinsey, the world requires approximately US$3.5 trillion in annual infrastructure investment through 2035, creating an unprecedented demand for skilled construction project professionals. The PMI Construction Professional (PMI-CP)™ learning pathway equips you with practical project management knowledge and modern construction practices to help meet these growing industry challenges.
This self-paced course combines engaging multimedia lessons, guided reviews of the PMI Exam Content Outline (ECO), and structured independent study activities, allowing you to learn at your own pace while building practical, job-ready skills.
Note: This eLearning course is not a mandatory prerequisite for earning the PMI Construction Professional (PMI-CP)™ certification. However, the Professional Development Units (PDUs) earned can be applied toward maintaining your PMI certification.
